Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Corsair Gaming, Inc. is a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of high-performance gaming and streaming peripherals and components. The company operates primarily within the PC gaming hardware, gaming peripherals, and content creation and streaming equipment industries. Its core business focuses on enhancing the gaming and streaming experience for enthusiasts, professional gamers, and content creators through branded, performance-oriented products.
The company’s primary revenue drivers include gaming peripherals, PC components, and streaming equipment sold under a portfolio of well-known brands. Corsair serves individual consumers, esports professionals, and system integrators, with sales distributed through online retailers, brick-and-mortar electronics stores, and direct-to-consumer channels. Corsair’s strategic advantage lies in its strong brand recognition among PC enthusiasts, vertically integrated ecosystem of compatible products, and a reputation for performance and quality. Founded in 1994 as Corsair Microsystems, the company initially specialized in high-performance memory modules and later expanded organically and through acquisitions into peripherals, gaming gear, and streaming solutions, culminating in its public listing in 2020.
Business Operations
Corsair organizes its operations into two primary reportable segments: Gamer and Creator Peripherals and Gaming Components and Systems. The Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment includes keyboards, mice, headsets, controllers, capture cards, microphones, and streaming accessories sold under brands such as Corsair, Elgato, SCUF Gaming, and Origin PC. This segment generates revenue primarily from peripheral device sales and benefits from recurring product refresh cycles and new platform adoption.
The Gaming Components and Systems segment encompasses PC components such as power supply units, cooling solutions, PC cases, and memory modules, as well as prebuilt gaming PCs. Corsair operates globally, with product design and engineering largely based in the United States and Europe, while manufacturing is predominantly outsourced to third-party contract manufacturers in Asia. The company maintains key subsidiaries including Elgato, SCUF Gaming, and Origin PC, which contribute specialized expertise in streaming hardware, professional controllers, and custom gaming systems.
Strategic Position & Investments
Corsair’s strategic direction emphasizes expanding its ecosystem of interconnected gaming and creator products, deepening engagement with content creators, and increasing share of wallet among existing customers. Growth initiatives include new product introductions, software integration across devices, and selective expansion into adjacent creator and productivity markets. The company has historically relied on targeted acquisitions to enter high-growth niches rather than large-scale mergers.
Notable acquisitions include Elgato, which strengthened Corsair’s position in the streaming and creator economy, SCUF Gaming, which added premium professional controllers, and Origin PC, expanding its presence in high-end custom gaming systems. Corsair continues to invest in software platforms such as iCUE to unify hardware control and enhance customer lock-in. Emerging areas of focus include creator-focused peripherals and products aligned with evolving esports and streaming monetization trends.

Corsair is headquartered in Fremont, California, and operates across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The United States represents its largest single market, supported by strong demand from PC gaming enthusiasts and content creators. Europe is a significant secondary market, with established distribution networks and localized product offerings.
Internationally, Corsair maintains sales, marketing, and logistics operations across multiple countries, while leveraging manufacturing partners primarily in Asia, including China and Taiwan. Its global footprint allows the company to serve major gaming markets worldwide while managing supply chain efficiency and regional demand fluctuations.
